A 5.2-magnitude earthquake shook Iran's Kashmar city in the northeastern province of Razavi Khorasan early on Wednesday.

The seismological base of the Geophysics Institute of Tehran University said that the quake was felt at 35.324 degrees latitude and 58.403 degrees longitude, according to Iran's (IRNA) News Agency.

No report is yet available on possible damage caused by the quake.

Iran is frequently hit by quakes. In 2003 tens of thousands of people were killed in a quake which flattened Bam.
